Are you aware of xmag? I think it's available by default on all linux x
systems - could be useful if you bind that to a hotkey. You can try it
with whatever your run command is on your system by typing "xmag". Most
desktop environments have additional options with more advanced
features, but it's good to have xmag as a starting point out of the box.
I've actually been considering accessibility options for a laptop/tablet
I'm putting together for someone, but hadn't thought about cursor
movement in particular being an issue, so thanks for raising it :)

If you're having problems locating your mouse, perhaps try using a
larger rodent like a rat or even a pacarana if you're really
struggling.....but be careful; although I've never wiggled one myself,
they can be a bit grumpy and get vicious when provoked and I've heard
they don't take too kindly to being wiggled :)
There's usually accessibility options with hot keys that zoom in the
screen at the cursor location.

The actual answer is, we don't know. I need to arrange a proper
usability test in the labs in my college (which I can do, given the
time).
why not just wiggle the mouse? :) also produces motion.
If you have problems locating the mouse, wiggling is not as good as
the Ctrl key, which usually produces a vibrating expanding disc which
is much more easily visible.
but yes - a "fund my pointer" feature doesn't exist in e. you don't
want to blink the cursor. you want some kind of "takes a lot of the
screen" animation
No, I think people with this problem just want a bigger cursor. End
of story.
e's pointer has that. e doesn't have anything to do with x cursor
themes...
Can you describe for me the difference between e's pointer and an x
cursor? Is one logical and the other physical?
